FIT CHECK: ACCESSIBILITY AND INCLUSIVITY IN FASHION
SATURDAY 1 MARCH
2:00PM
THE WHEELER CENTRE, 176 LONSDALE ST, MELBOURNE
Fashion should be for everyone – but is it?
Journalist Emma Do, A Plus Market founder Sam van Zweden and writer and podcast host Maggie Zhou examine the barriers within the industry and discuss the evolving vision of an inclusive fashion future. Moderated by cultural commentator Sabina McKenna, these fashion experts and enthusiasts will explore the most pressing issues in fashion, from size inclusivity and high price points to ethical production and sustainable consumption.
Unboxing the realities of mainstream fashion, they will look at who is excluded from the influential industry and why. They will challenge norms and seek to reimagine how the industry can better serve everyone. Whether you’re an influencer, trendsetter, social change advocate, or simply a fashion lover, this conversation will be your opportunity to join the dialogue on the future of fashion.
Choose what you pay, bookings essential.
